Chapter 320. Let it go and give up completely
When Du Ruxue stayed behind to stop General Yaksha, Emperor George dragged his daughter towards the secret passages of the underground city to escape.
Qiao Sen, being pulled along by her mother, could only ask with a worried face, "Mother, will Aunt Du be alright?"
A flash of pain crossed Emperor George’s face, but he remained calm and said, "She’ll be fine. As long as we leave safely, she will escape too."
Qiao Sen didn’t notice Emperor George’s feigned calmness. There had been so many unexpected events today, happening one after another, that it was hard for her little heart to bear it all.
The key issue was that Qiao Sen knew nothing, filled with confusion about it all.
Du Ruxue refused to elaborate, so Qiao Sen had to suppress her doubts within, finally unable to contain herself at this moment: "Mother, what exactly is going on here? Why are you hiding underground, and why is the True Mother God Sect targeting our Qiao family..."
Qiao Sen blurted out all her doubts in one breath, feeling her chest lighten a bit.
While they ran, Emperor George replied to Qiao Sen’s questions: "Our ancestors of the Zhao family were the famous Blood God of hundreds of years ago. They passed down this Blood God Mask to me, along with the underground city and the Blood God Array. The True Mother God Sect’s target is the Blood God Mask. I sensed the danger and hid underground, for our Qiao family inherited the Zhao family’s bloodline, thus making us the target of the True Mother God Sect..."
The underground city and Blood God Mask, and the Blood God Array, are only known to the emperors of Chu Kingdom throughout the ages, including the relationship between the Blood God Mask and the Qiao family, and the functions of the Blood God Array, etc.
The Blood God Mask was crafted by the Blood God. Anyone who wears it will be turned into a Blood God Soldier, gaining immense power and the Undying Body, but will also become a slave to the Blood God.
If the Blood God’s descendant wears the mask, something truly terrifying will happen. So both the ancestors of the Zhao and Qiao families left behind ancestral instructions forbidding their descendants from wearing the mask.
